both sides of a journey



I watched the River through your eyes,
Counted clouds in ripples and curls,
And the gentle face of the ageless flow
Gurgles like the voice of a friend.

Like any winter day
the barges move coal, the bridge
touches both sides of a journey, but today
the waters reach out in supple fingers, as if
to calm the restless heart 
that carries longing in each step.

Breath is satisfying and whispers
puff into vapors; they cloud the eyes
for only the moment allowed,
to see a reflection…of love.
